This brings up one of many interesting paradoxes of browsers. They can save passwords by default, but they won't generate strong passwords for you by default. (If your browser has a password generator you have to manually enable it)

Safari on MacOS will suggest/generate fairly strong passwords as soon as you're on a password field:

Chrome generates strong passwords for you. I only wish there was a simple pass/fail test js function websites could use to tell chrome whether or not the auto generated password fits their ridiculous rules.
